AcciRescue: Life saver in every Accident

Abstract: Road traffic accidents represent a critical global public health challenge, claiming millions of lives annually. A significant factor contributing to fatalities is the delay between the occurrence of an accident and emergency medical response. This paper presents AcciRescue, an intelligent real-time accident detection and alert system designed to minimise response time and improve survival rates. The system integrates NEO-6M GPS and SIM800L GPS modules with an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor connected to an Arduino Nano microcontroller to continuously monitor vehicle movement and detect collision events. Upon detecting sudden velocity changes indicative of an accident, AcciRescue automatically transmits the precise incident location to emergency contacts and nearby hospitals. The proposed system offers a cost-effective, scalable solution that can be seamlessly integrated into vehicles or smartphones, addressing the critical need for rapid emergency response in traffic accidents.
